Mumbai, Feb 13 (Ians) ‘Inside Edge’ actor Tanuj Virwani, who recently got married to his longtime partner Tanya Jacob, will not be able to celebrate Valentine’s Day with his wife this year as he is busy with work.
“While I understand the importance and essence of celebrating love on that day since it is all about love, I am definitely not upset because I am working that day.

“Besides, having a really understanding and cooperative partner helps and that’s where Tanya, my wife, makes my life all the more beautiful. Some time back, we had a brilliant time together as a family...

Lataji can’t believe one of her favourite co-singers is gone. “I was given to understand Sp Balaji was recovering from Covid. All of a sudden I heard he is no more. I couldn’t believe it. I thought it was another of those fake-death rumours that keep surfacing about everyone including me. Unfortunately this rumour was true.I am still in a state of disbelief.”
Lataji remembers singing with Spb for the first time in 1981. “The film was Ek Duuje Ke Liye. It was a cross-cultural love story. I sang for the Punjabi girl and Balaji sang for the Tamil boy played by Rati Agnihotri and Kamal Haasan.

KollywoodThe Tamil film industry has had several directors who've stepped in front of the camera and proved their mettle as actors.CV AravindThe Tamil film Mayandi Kudumbathar directed by the late Rasu Madhuravan was released in the year 2009. What was unique about the movie was that for the first time in the history of Tamil cinema, the film’s cast comprised as many as eleven directors. While some of them like Manivannan, Seeman, Tarun Gopi and Ponvannan were well-known faces in the industry, the others were still striving to find their feet and had helmed one or two films. The experiment was partially successful as the film with a rural backdrop had an average run at the box office and did not burn a hole in the producer’s pocket. Some of these directors have been pursuing an acting career and one of them, Singam Puli, is a much sought after comedian these days. However, directors donning the greasepaint and stepping in front of the camera is not a recent phenomenon. One of the earliest directors who also acted in his films was the veena vidwan S Balachander who had a yen for horror films. He played stellar roles in whodunits like Bommai and Nadu Iravil which he also directed. This trend has caught on in a big way as far as Kollywood is concerned as more and more directors are announcing ‘pack up’ where their directorial careers are concerned and are evincing interest in acting. Playwright turned directors like Visu and Mouli inevitably ended up reprising the roles they had enacted in their plays while directing the screen versions. However, an actor like Bhagyaraj, who was seen in small roles in his mentor Bharathiraaja’s films, suddenly found himself in the hero’s garb when Bharathiraaja cast him opposite Rati Agnihotri in the film Puthiya Varpugal, the director’s fourth venture. Capitalising on the success of the film, Bhagyaraj went on to make several hit films like Antha Ezhu Natkal, Mundanai Mudichu and Darling Darling Darling, donning the hero’s mantle and also doubling up as director. Among his assistants, Parthiban and Pandiyarajan too followed in their mentor’s footsteps. While Parthiban directed national award winning films like Puthiya Pathai, Pandiyarajan also impressed with an Aan Pavam. While Parthiban continues to direct an odd film or two, Pandiyarajan has now become a full time actor. Bharathiraaja, whose directorial venture Bommalattam with Nana Patekar in the cast was a colossal flop, has now taken to acting in cameo roles in films and has even begun to land plum roles on the small screen as well. Cheran is another filmmaker who was fast developing into a fine director with films like Bharathi Kannamma and Vetri Kodi Kattu when he turned lead actor in his own films like Autograph and Thavamai Thavamirunthu. Unfortunately, he has not directed a film for quite a while now and the acting offers have also dried up. Two directors who really found their niche as actors are the late Manivannan and Sundararajan. Both of them were brilliant at their craft and while Manivannan had hits like Nooravathu Naal, Pudhu Vasantham, and Amaithi Padai, to his credit as director, Sundararajan’s hit films like Amman Kovil Kizhakhale and Vaidehi Kathirunthal turned him into a household name. It was his role as an antagonist in Rajinikanth’s Kodi Parakuthu directed by his mentor Bharathiraaja that convinced Manivannan that his future lay in acting. But unlike Sundararajan whose forte remains comedy, Manivannan could play various roles with consummate ease. He excelled as a villain and comedian in films like Suryavamsam and Avvai Shanmughi where he was cast as a rich Chettiar in relentless pursuit of Shanmughi (Kamal Haasan). Mani was also adept at essaying intense, emotional roles and delivered powerful performances in films like Thullatha Manamum Thullum and Sangamam. His untimely passing was a big loss to Tamil cinema for he was both a gifted director and actor as well. Rare is the Tamil film which does not have director Manobala in the cast. The thin as a beanstalk Manobala who has directed several films is one of the busiest comedians on the circuit and though he is required to play only inconsequential comic characters, his combination scenes with ‘Vaigai Puyal' Vadivelu and Santhanam have never failed to regale audiences. One prolific director who appears to have realised that acting is not his cup of tea is Sundar C who along with his wife, actor Khushbu is also a successful producer. Sundar, who had a string of hits as a director to his credit including the acclaimed Anbe Sivam with Kamal Haasan and Madhavan in the lead, was bitten by the acting bug. However, his roles in films directed by him did not click in a big way. The biggest disappointment was the film Veerappu, a remake of the Malayalam superhit Spadikam where he was hardly a patch on Mohanlal who had delivered a towering performance. Sundar who also appeared briefly in his films like Aranmanai is now back to direction with the sequel to his hit film Kalakalappu and is also all set to direct what could be his magnum opus Sangamithra. Ks Ravikumar who directed superstar Rajinikanth in blockbusters like Muthu and Padayappa and Kamal Haasan in Tenali and Avvai Shanmughi had, like Alfred Hitchcock, made fleeting appearances in his films. But now, with not many directorial offers coming his way after films like Kochadaiyan turned damp squibs, he is chancing his arm as an actor and has bagged a few roles. From the younger lot, you have Samutharakani and Sashikumar who are actors as well as directors. Samutharakani, who worked in Sashi’s film Subramaniapuram directed the latter in the smash hit Nadodi. The actor, who has already won a National Award for Best Supporting Actor for India’s Oscar entry Visaranai, is now flooded with offers not only from Tamil filmmakers but also from Mollywood where his portrayal of a homicidal maniac in the Pridyadarshan directed Mohanlal starrer Oppam was much appreciated. Samutharakani has also firmed up plans to direct Sashikumar in a film in the near future. Other director- actors who deserve a mention are Raj Kiran, T Rajendar, Ramarajan, Myskkin, Ameer, Ram S J Suryah ( who was cast as a diabolic villain in Murugadoss directed Spyder) and Ramesh Khanna, Of the lot Myskkin, Ameer and Ram continue to be hotshot directors as well. That directors have a flair for acting is well known as part of their job is to act out scenes for the performers. And as any director would tell you, acting is far less taxing than direction, with the additional risk of having to own up if a film tanks at the box office.

When Rati met Sunny she immediately felt her genuine warmth and was quite impressed with the young girl who was focused and dedicated towards her work.

The wonders of spoken word are infinite. The word for the human posterior in English and for ‘hope’ in Urdu is similar-sounding. Not surprisingly Akshay kicks off a kick-ass affair with a sassy belligerent girl played with cuddly cuteness by Amy Jackson, who can knock off a few bones on her own without masculine help, shukriya.
There is an element of disarming innocence in Akshay’s goofy-grinned avatar even when he leers at Amy emerging out of the water.
For my money and time, Akshay Kumar is the hero with the best coming timing on this side of Kishore Kumar.

Rati Agnihotri finally breaks her silence on domestic violence, and her decision to end her 30-year marriage. When actress Rati Agnihotri decided to complain to the cops about the alleged violence perpetrated by her husband, she didn't expect the personal matter would leak out into the public domain. And even if it did, she expected to see more sympathy and empathy in the media, more so since many media persons are women. However, the truth is otherwise. "I am surprised and hurt that my motives for speaking out to the law enforcement and legal machinery about my domestic problems are being questioned. Just because I chose to not speak about it, some sections of the media doubt the veracity of my claims. But the truth, as they say, will prevail. They're calling up my son while I am running around with my lawyers trying to make sense of what has happened in my life.

The news is that Abhishek is now all set to do a hilarious cameo in Abhishek Sharmaa's upcoming comedy film The Shaukeens. The idea of him doing a cameo happened when the makers of the film approached him with the idea a few days back, when he was extremely busy with the promotions of Happy New Year.

Buzz is that Bachchan junior was shooting till six in the morning on the day he shot for The Shaukeens and that he just slept for a couple of hours before he faced the camera again.

After the success of Pyaar Ke Side Effects, writer-director Saket Chaudhary dives further into relationships by examining the “side effects” of marriage in Shaadi Ke Side Effects. The film stars Farhan Akhtar and Vidya Balan, both of whom have been on quite a roll lately. They say they hadn’t even met, let alone become friends, before the film, but their easy-going chemistry leapt out immediately in the trailers.
In summary, Sid and Trisha Roy have grown up into different actors from Pyaar Ke Side Effects and gotten married. Beyond that, there really isn’t much of a plot here. Sid and Trisha have a baby. Sid is not happy, Trisha pretends to be. Sid starts lying to his wife to be happy. It inevitably blows up in his face. They reconcile without actually fixing anything.
Unfortunately, that pretty much is the story. What starts off as a wonderful concept...

2013, the extra special year marking the centenary of Hindi Cinema is almost coming at an end.
To celebrate, BollySpice briefly explores the theatrical roots of Bollywood, expanding on the contribution of William Shakespeare, the famous playwright who has continuously intrigued the Indian film industry since the beginning of the Hindi film industry.
We explore selected Bollywood “Romeo and Juliet” interpretations and how they disturbingly reflect South Asian cultural issues related to “love”.
Theatrical Beginnings
When “sound” arrived into the world of Hindi cinema in 1931, it threatened the existence of the Parsi Theatre – a popular culture of performing arts that formed the foundation for what we now call “Bollywood”.
Not only had theatre formed an important foundation, but continues to be reflected through Bollywood – through more ways than one.

Even before the remake of Basu Chatterjee's 1982 film Shaukeen could go on floor, the film seems to have hit rock bottom. Rumi Jaffrey, who was supposed to direct the film, has opted out of it.
Apparently, the reason for the sudden exit is said to be date clashes. Rumi, who was pretty kicked about the project revealed that the film got delayed to January instead of October and that, he had other commitments to fulfill. The writer-director also expressed his unhappiness over his exit from the remake and hopes that despite his absence, the film proves successful.
While the original starred Mithun Chakraborty and Rati Agnihotri, this one will have Akshay Kumar and Nargis Fakri reprising their roles.

Mumbai, July 27: Actor Tanuj Virwani, son of veteran actress Rati Agnihotri, admits being a star kid brings additional pressure, but thanks to his mother's Bollywood connect, it is easier for him to interact with industry people.
"I feel there is an added pressure. Being a star kid, the audience expects a lot from you. There's a lot of responsibility on you being a star kid. But there are also advantages because there is immense respect for my mother's body of work so it gets easy to get in touch with the industry people," Tanuj told Ians.
"Having said that, I would like to mention that even I had to go through all the screen.

An avalanche of movies is arriving on screens this weekend, what with as many as four notable releases in the anvil. Primarily word of mouth films, one expects a better start in the multiplexes for Bajatey Raho whereas Nasha should open better in the single screens. As for Issaq, it does look like an interesting film and good reviews coupled with quick word of mouth from audience could give it a chance at the box office. Between these three films, Bajatey Raho has been the most visible of the lot and since it is backed by a premium production house (Eros’ Raanjhanaa is still running in theaters), the release would be widespread as well. A comedy, it could well be a Chalo Dilli moment for director Shashant Shah since the Vinay Pathak-Lara Dutta starrer too had released amidst as many as six films and still emerged victorious.

He added that he gives importance to "song and music composer's credibility".

Mumbai, July 1: Tanuj Virwani says the plot of his debut film "Love U Soniyo" is akin to his mother Rati Agnihotri's 1981 blockbuster "Ek Duuje Ke Liye" -- both films revolve around lovers who belong to different regions.
"Ek Duuje Ke Liye" saw Rati as a North Indian girl who falls in love with a Tamil guy, played by Kamal Haasan. Director Joe Rajan's "Love U Soniyo" revolves around Mark, a Catholic, and Punjabi girl Soniyo, played by former Miss India Neha Hinge, and how they are brought together by fate only to be drawn apart.
Tanuj said: "Yes, quite a coincidence. It wasn't planned and funnily enough we didn't even realise it until midway through the shoot."
"One night after pack up, Joe and I were sitting in.

Shaukeen, the 1980 Basu Chatterjee comic film about three old men lusting after a girl next-door, is all set to be remade by Rumi Jaffery. Interestingly, Akshay Kumar has been roped in to play the character of Mithun Chakraborty. While the female lead originally played by Rati Agnihotri will be essayed by Nargis Fakhri.
Though in the original, Mithun's part was a small role, the remake will apparently change the part to fit in Akshay. Further reports suggest that Akshay has not charged his usual fee for this film as it is not a full length role, but he will have a stake in the film.
While on the other hand, as reported earlier by Bollywood Hungama, the three older actor's roles have gone to Anupam Kher, Annu Kapoor and Paresh Rawal.
